Rick Riordan Presents: Tristan Strong Destroys the World-A Tristan Strong Novel, Book 2

Bestselling author Rick Riordan presents the second book in the New York Times best-selling and award-winning Tristan Strong trilogy by Kwame Mbalia. "Mbalia's universe continues to excite through sheer conceptual brilliance, nonstop action and adventure, and--let's be honest--the comical aggression of sidekick god Gum Baby."--BooklistTristan Strong, just back from a victorious but exhausting adventure in Alke, the land of African American folk heroes and African gods, is suffering from PTSD. But there's no rest for the weary when his grandmother is abducted by a mysterious villain out for revenge. Tristan must return to Alke--and reunite with his loud-mouthed sidekick, Gum Baby--in order to rescue Nana and stop the culprit from creating further devastation. Anansi, now a "web developer" in Tristan's phone, is close at hand to offer advice, and several new folk heroes will aid Tristan in his quest, but he will only succeed if he can figure out a way to sew broken souls back together. *"Well-paced--just like the previous installment--this sequel focuses on themes such as the meaning of diaspora and the effects of trauma, making for a more nuanced and stronger story than the first. Packs a punch."--Kirkus (starred review) Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.Enhance your middle grade fantasy collection with these best-selling fan favorites: The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick RiordanThe Heroes of Olympus series by Rick RiordanRick Riordan Presents Sal and Gabi Break the Universe by Carlos HernandezRick Riordan Presents City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda
